Terminals 1, 2, 3
Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are combined into one building and form the more modern part of the airport.
The most spacious building is Terminal 3, which mainly handles Transavia flights.
Terminal 2 is by far the smallest and is located between Terminals 1 and 3.
Terminal 1 is a concourse divided into three parts, from which different airlines check in. After passing through security, it is characterised by a significant shortage of seats.
Terminal 4
The original building from the 1960s still boasts the unique architecture of the time. Today, it serves mainly long-haul flights and flights to North Africa.
Terminal 4 is the largest of all and also the most spacious.

Transfer between flights
When transferring between flights, just follow the yellow "Flight Connections" signs. After exiting the aircraft into the terminal, look for the departures board, which will be oriented by the departure gate number.
All terminals are also connected to each other by a transit zone, so there is no need to go all the way out.
Security and passport control
Do you have to go through passport control or security when you change planes at Paris-Orly Airport? It depends on where you're flying from and to!
- Schengen -> Schengen: No checkpoint
- Schengen -> Non-Schengen: passport control
- Non-Schengen -> Schengen: passport control and security check
- Non-Schengen -> Non-Schengen: security check
All terminals are interconnected by the transit zone, although the journey from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 is considerably quicker through the public section even after factoring in time spent at security.

We arrive to Orly on 5/23 from the US on La Compagnie in Terminal 4. We then fly TAP to Lisbon out of Terminal 1. We have 3 hours between flights. Will we need to go through passport control/EES then get our luggage, then re-check at TAP and go back through security? Is this enough time?

You'll go through passport control anyway.
If you have bought both flights separately (2 different bookings), then you will need to collect your luggage, re-check it in and go through security.
But 3 hours should be enough time.

Does anyone know how to proceed at Orly, where I should pick up my easyjet luggage and then catch an iberia flight to Madrid?

As described above, easyJet and Iberia share the same Terminal 1 at Orly.
You pick up your baggage in the arrivals hall as standard, then go out to the public area, take the lift or escalator to the 1st floor where departures are. Here you will check in your baggage and go through security to the departure gate.

Thank you!
Hello. For the first time I'm flying via Paris Orly to Ajaccio. How is the transfer? Do I change terminals? I arrive 1.5 with Prague with transavia and continue with air corsica. Thank you
Hello, I have updated the list of airlines by terminal above - so both flights are at Terminal 3.
I don't know if you bought your ticket as part of one booking or if you made the connection yourself by buying 2 separate tickets.
In the first case, you don't worry about the luggage and you don't go through any screening.
